Dozens of people have contacted Oakmere Homes after it was announced 148 homes are to be built on Oxenholme Road, Kendal.

It is one of the largest developments to be okayed in a while and the decision has been challenged by the Triangle Opposition Group (TOG), which represents 200 local residents, and has attracted 82 individual letters of objection.

There are over 4,000 families in the area who need a home. 34% of this development will be affordable.

The affordable homes will be priced around £90-120, 000 while the Executive Housing will go up to £450,000.
